thats cool dye then \

it drips like coolant too

but if u say its oil , loos like its from above the gasket there

 

You shouldn't sure any RTV on the oil pan gasket... It still might be coming out of it.

Go buy a new OEM gasket, scrap off all the old RTV, and any gunk. Make sure you clean the surface with brake cleaner, it has to be clean for the gasket to seal properly. Use an OEM gasket only, some of the after market ones suck. And make sure you don't over torque it.

 

Find the the lowest spot and work your way up the motor. It could be as simple as the headgasket seal. Its amazing how oil makes little streams/rivers through your engine bay.

 

it didnt seal so i tried that. im thinking it may need a new gasket or the oil pump housing isnt machined right

 

i checked pulled the covers off and valve cover and its not coming up top thats whats weird bout it

 

Hard to see much in the video, but I would vote for a possible warped pan and thus a poor seal. If you over torque those pans much past the specified point, its REAL easy to warp them to where they don't seal very well. I would also highly suggest the oil pan gasket gets replaced with and OEM unit.

 

Yeah that could be the case

its a stock itr tapped for turbo i have a moroso pan i could try

 

looks just like mine last week. hope you didn't leave a washer in the stud. oil pan gasket have two washer in the tranny side but not sure about the belt side.

 

Explain where exactly this picture is of the engine. Will help the process along, or a better quality picture. GL

 

yeah i dont remember no washer anywhere when i was cleaning the block before i put the pan up

 

sorry i had dye and i had the garage lights off for the blacklight so i took this video with light from a flash light. its right next to the crank pulley tords the firewall.

like what he said, i had a oil pan leaking problem too. i found extra washers/dowels/spacers on the block/pan mating surface. once i removed them, it was all good.

That's exactly what my oil leak looks like, except its on the exhaust side of the engine, not the firewall side. Just on the other side of the pan. Did you ever figure out a way to fix it? I've already swapped the gasket, used liquid gasket like the helms manual says, and torqued them to just 9ft/lb. I'm beginning to think my pan is warped. It doesnt leak anywhere else from the pan. Just that one corner.

 

Judging by the amount of oil I don't think it's the oil pan gasket. I think it's something that's pressurized, rev up the engine and see if the frequency of dripping increases. I vote for the o-ring between the block and oil pump, #18.

if you can see it all the way up under the valve cover i would think it would be cam seals. is it going up there because of the belt or actually leaking from that high up in the motor

 

thanks for the diagram. i found out where the oil was coming from. when the block was sleeved at golden eagle they removed the freeze plugs and one never got re torqued so it was leaking right above the oil pump. thanks guys for the help this was bugging me to the point i almost pulled the motor out

 

glad you figured it out.... but yea it looked like something pressurized from the video... good job taking the video!!
